It's the first issue: The controller doesn't show up to be passed through. For your controller: use lspci -v to find out the parameters to change in /etc/vmware/passthru.map. See: Re: DirectPat... See more...

Have a look at DirectPath I/O support for Haswell Lynx Point SATA AHCI controller

I found the failure myself. It's a little bit embarrassing. It was just the missing "/" in front of vmfs... . Now my disks are up and running in RDM physical mode. P.S.: Just the passthrough of the SATA Controller doesn't work. See link of the last thread.

The reason seems to be the partition type 0xfd (raid autodetect arrays). This problem is shown with the disk itself. Any idea how to solve it?

Thanks very much for your effort. I followed your instructions and I could passthrough the Lynx Point AHCI. But when I connect the PCI device to my virtual maschine I get the following error: The PCI-Passthrough-Device-ID (0x-73fe) is invalid          (translated from German) Any ideas????
Is this maybe of any help? "Cannot obtain asset properties from vCenter Server query service"? What could be the reason for that?
It was all done with the "root" user.

Thanks for your quick answer. I locked on as administrator@vsphere.local and its the exact same situation like root. No inventory. (I can only see 2 extensions vServiceManager, vSphere Esx AgentManager) What happend before: - When I tried to configure my datacenter / host over the WebClient I already got stuck at the datacenter. The progress bar was tourning endlessly.   But the datacenter was then visible by the vSphereClient and I commenced configuring the host from there. - I once renewed the SSO database to try to solve my problem and set a new password. This was now accepted with the above user. Everything there in the vSphereClient: I also get an alarm: Monitoring system status (DE:"Überwachen des Systemstatus") Any ideas?

I am a VMWare Newbe. I installed VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.5.0b released. (followed the TinkerTry instructions Deploy VMware's vCenter Server Appliance 5.5 in a home lab, without SSO errors - YouTube) I could not configure a DataCenter over the WebClient, so I switch to vSphereClient. Now I can't see the DataCenter (and all the inventory) in the WebClient (vSphereClient is fine). If I try to create a DataCenter over the WebClient I get the message that "datacenter" is already there. What could be the problem?
